Madison, NC.

Occupation:
After a 19-year career as the manager of a lumber and hardware store, I started my own company in the home-maintenance business. Being my own boss allows me to set my schedule around the Women's Bassmaster Tour as well as participate in other exciting personal and promotional obligations in the fishing industry. Besides my entrepreneurial and angling accomplishments, I also helped developed and am the editor of a successful on-line magazine for women anglers, www.ebassfish.com . This site provides its viewers with up-to-date information about women anglers everywhere and the struggles and successes that we endure as we pursue our passion of fishing. It also provides women anglers the opportunity to promote themselves and there sponsors through articles and angler profiles.

Goals and Objectives:
My Passion is fishing - and I intend to devote as much time as possible furthering my professional angling career. It is also top priority of mine to always promote and be a good role model in the sport of fishing. The education and inclusion of women and children are a specific passion and personal mission of mine. Children are the future of our industry and the sport of fishing. In 2008 I will be giving seminars at the Take Me Fishing Centers at various boat shows and other fishing events around the country.
